If you’re anything like me, you don’t go anywhere without your camera and your iPod. They rank right up there with air as core essentials to my being. That being said, I needed a bag I could transport them in that was lightweight and comfortable enough to carry daily; yet spacious enough to hold all of my gadgets. After careful consideration, I chose the Baggallini Messenger Bag. I couldn’t be happier with my decision (and this means a lot coming from a fussbudget like me). The mono- strap is super comfortable and places the bag to the side and out of my way. And while not being terribly large and cumbersome, the bag is spacious enough that I can store my Canon Digital Rebel XT SLR camera inside while still in its case. In addition, there is ample space in the front pockets for my iPod, wallet, keys and whatever else I need for the day’s journey. I use this bag regularly on trips in and out of the city.

Perfect for:

City slickers and the outward bound alike.

Need a duffel with lots of space, but want something lightweight? The Yuzu Large Duffel is the perfect answer! This bag has 2 main compartments with tons of room so the packer can separate shoes from clothes, or dirty from clean clothes. It also has a small zip pocket on the front for last minute accessories. I use this bag all the time and it never gets dirty. It also comes in many great colors. This is the best large lightweight duffel out there!

Perfect For:

The Yuzu Large Duffel would be perfect for college students’ weekend trips home or visiting friends. It is also perfect for a weekend at the shore. This is my main weekend trip bag. I can fit everything I need in it and then I only have to bring one bag!

Favorite Feature:

I love the separate compartments. Having two main compartments to work with is so convenient.

This Mulholland Brothers Hackle Tote has a rugged-textured leather that is so beautiful and a bright orange nylon lining that is ‘eye-popping’ in color. I just had to have it!

PERFECT FOR:

I use this bag every day - it goes with me wherever I go. The large size (14″ x 14″ x 7″) will accommodate my newspaper, lunch, and all the other “stuff” I somehow can’t be without. It has a few interior compartments for things such as pens and your wallet, a large interior zipper along one side and a convenient cell phone pocket on the outside.

FAVORITE FEATURE:

I’ve received many compliments from people who’ve stopped me to inquire where they can buy this tote.  In my opinion the favorite feature of this bag is the great “look/style” that everyone seems to love, including myself.

DRAWBACK:

Not large enough to carry my 12-year old, 24 lb pug, Lana

BOTTOM LINE:

With minimum amount of maintainence, this bag still looks fabulous and I’ve used it every day since July 2006!

Briggs & Riley appeals to me because of it’s clean lines and understated appearance. I chose the olive because it is much more attractive than your everyday black case. The external handle system is what really sold me on this bag because you gain much more packing space and we all know how important that is!

Perfect For

This Briggs & Riley carry-on is my one and only suitcase. It is great for weekend trips and it even allows me enough room to pack for full week trips. The internal pockets and compartments make organizing for your trip a breeze. With the internal suiter you can bring along your best attire for a night out on the town. This bag is great for a business man or a beach bum.

Favorite Feature

The best feature of this bag is Briggs’ ingenious idea to have the telescoping handle on the outside.  It may not sound like much but every bit of space counts, when your like me and need all the room that you can get. I don’t like to check my luggage because I don’t like the extra time involved. This feature, with the handle on the outside of the case, allows me to take much more along for my trips.   [Read more →]

The JanSport Super Break Collection Packing Cube Set makes hectic last minute weekend trips for an unorganized flake manageable.  Normal people would probably like them too.

Perfect For

These are perfect for any length trip.  Personally, I don’t make a ton of big trips, but I do hop on a train to visit family and friends for a weekend quite often.  I have a hard time staying organized—especially since a lot of the times my plans are made at the last minute! These are also great for longer trips, especially at the airport because the mesh covers give the TSA less reason to go through everything you own piece by piece.

Favorite Feature

Torn between the cute patterns (Chocolate Chip Pink Daiquiri 2 Square FTW!) and the convenient mesh covers (TSA friendly), I’d have to say that my favorite thing about these cubes is that they make packing into an oddly shaped bag a lot easier. [Read more →]
